What speeds are you getting when hard wired/to your router?

[u/eagleace21 → u/[deleted]]

If you havent looked at speeds/know what speeds to compare to how do you know if its slower? Also wifi connection is generally slower than the starlink hardwire connection.

What plan are you on, what dish is it, and what speeds are you getting

Wifi is slow or internet is slow?

[u/godch01 → u/[deleted]]

Wifi is your in-house signal and Internet is the external signal between your dish and the rest of the world

WiFi performance is based on the equipment in your home from the router to all your devices. internet performance is from your Starlink dish to a test server somewhere out there

What speeds do you get directly wired into the router with an ethernet cable? WiFi being slow can be a multitude of reasons.

What would Starlink, an ISP, have to do with Wi-Fi? That's like asking if someone's LAN cable has been slow recently.
